not get along without fruits or nuts, and for the sake of those I’m willing to put
up with some discomforts.
D - When autumn is over and winter sets in, I don’t mind it at all. I know it is
the season of snowstorms, and of ice, of frozen rivers and ponds, and of slippery
streets. But think of the skating on the ice, or skiing in the country, and the
sledging. In snowy weather, tobogganing is my favourite pastime. Then think of
the joy of the children. At the first heavy snowfall, they are out making snow-
men, building snowhuts, and pelting one another with snowballs. Of course, if
the winter is severe, one must take care not to get frost-bitten. To me, winter has
its own peculiar interest and beauty, and there is no reason to feel bored to death
when there are interesting books, theatres and concerts, and the cinema.
